Subject:Problems looping 10sec. wav for long periods...
Posted by: O_G_Killa

OK, here's my problem...

I have to run a ten second .wav file of pink noise for
about 7 and 1/2 hours straight without stopping.

I open it in Sound Forge 4.5 and hit the looped play button
on th eWaveform Display window and it starts looping. But
it usually stops somewhere around 6 1/2 to 7 hours and the
remaining 1/2 hour to an hour of data that I am collecting
is useless to me.

I don't know why this is happening...does anybody have any
suggestions? Is it a bug in SF? is it a Memory or a
buffer issue (memory leak in SF??)? is there a setting I
can play with to make it loop for longer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

This kind of problem can be caused by a sound card not returning the
correct position information. What sound card are you using?

Systems Specs are:

P-90MHz
32MB RAM
Win98 SE
AWE64 (default Win98 SE drivers)
SF 4.5 is the only thing running.

Any ideas?
